Ghost Chime Isle: Behind The Emerald Curtain

Posted By: Keller Article: MAR07-1 Reported To: E!RN Reported On: New Luna Reported At: Sun Mar 04 00:02:57 3007 Ghost Chime Isle, New Luna. Months after the last shots were fired, and the infamous Captain Fitzgerald arrested, peace has settled over the Ghost Chime Isle Community. With rumours reaching the inhabitants ears, that they were apparently being poorly supplied by the New Luna Government, most of them found it to be highly humorous. One resident commented when confronted with the rumour: "Simply untrue, more often than not, we're simply being over supplied with goods. Quite often we send back excess medication and other goods, simply because we don't have the facilities to store them from the heat." While untrusting of outsiders, the Island Community of Ghost Chime did not come across as how some people had come to perceive them after the civil war finished. There are no stereotypical PANL soldiers walking around with plasma weapons and crudely constructed pipe rifles. In fact, only the NLM members were armed and the none of the islanders did not brandish a weapon. The people of Ghost Chime Isle have continued on with their fishing to help supplement the aid that they're receiving from the New Luna Government. Small plantations have been set up on the Island, with the first crop expect later this year. The people hope that they will be able to export this to the main land, so that they will not require aid from the government.

Business Returns to Tomin Nebula

Posted By: Khan Article: MAR07-2 Reported To: INN Reported On: Tomin Kora Reported At: Sun Mar 04 15:11:32 3007 SHADOWHEART, TOMIN KORA- A steady flow of traffic has returned to Shadowheart, the domed capital of the late Boss Cabrerra's crime syndicate. Since the bombing of Shadowheart a few years ago in the assault against Majordomo Grim, the city was a ruined anarchy of rival gangs and upstart crime lords. Two of the big names in Shadowheart these days are Giuseppe Marcuccilli, head of the underworld complex known as the Warren, and former Boromov subordinate Murovny Ksechev, owner of the Twin Moons Casino. Recently, the Odarite Merchant's Guild has rebuilt their office on the Strand, attracting more buyers of questionably legal merchandise to Shadowheart. Other businesses are taking up residence in bombed-out ferrocrete shells that line the streets of the city, the source of all sorts of wares. If this trend continues, Tomin Kora could rise back to its former status as the economic center of crime and debauchery in the universe.

Antimone Government Offers Goodwill Package to New Luna Government

Posted By: Keller Article: MAR07-5 Reported To: INN Reported On: Antimone Reported At: Mon Mar 26 11:10:36 3007 New Valsho, Antimone. Rumors coming out of the government of Antimone suggests that they are assembling an aid packed to send to New Luna during their time of need. While details of the packages are currently scarce, it suggests that they are sending an aid shipment of food and goods to help suppliment stocks currently on New Luna. Armi Teznozna, speaking on behalf of the Antimone Government, was heard to comment with: "Maza has certainly frowned upon the peoples of New Luna. Fortunately, we on Antimone have been smiled upon and have received an abundant crop this harvest. While, according to stereotypical behavior, we wouldn't usually do this without something in return, we have decided to do so. We are willing to send across the staple foods of the Timonae, if Governer Seale is interested. At this point in time, we ask for no favors." It is believed that the shipment is ready to be exported when and if the New Luna accepts it. This is Vadoma Carniliza for INN.

CABRERRA RETURNS?

Posted By: Khan Article: MAR07-8 Reported To: INN Reported On: Tomin Kora Reported At: Sun Apr 01 16:50:21 3007 A broadcast from the CIV Harbinger earlier today announced the return of Boss Cabrerra, whose criminal empire fell after the bombing of Shadowheart. Whether the claim is legitimate is the topic of much debate in Shadowheart, as the individual who claims to be The Boss is a woman. "I always heard the Boss called a 'he'," says Mumbles McGee, a smuggler and patron of The Gallows, who asked that his real name not be used. "And some broad comes in saying she's the Boss? I ain't buyin' it." "First Lord Fagin, now this? Gimme a break," commented another Gallows customer. Others contend that since no one has ever seen the Boss except for those closest to him/her, the claim may be legit. Hired hitman Matches Malone is one such person. "Even if it ain't the real Boss, it'd be nice to see someone clean up Shadowheart. The Boss always kept things running nice." Included in the broadcast was a message to the man claiming to be Lord Fagin, who some suspect is former Cabrerra right hand man Colin Neidermeyer. Cabrerra wants Fagin to "come out of that balloon he's hiding in" so they can "talk business".
